There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.

Initially I faced some issues while setup, but anyway later it was not an issue. One more thing to update is, for accessing every skill we need to mention skill name while talking to alexa. It was quite difficult to remember all skills which we enabled.

Otherwise then this the voice recognition is good and alexa was able to catch the voice from long distance also.

It a member of my family now. You ask her and she replies. She plays song , tells stories , news, weather etc. Install the Alexa app in to your mobile and configure your favourite stations and you are done. You need to put the device in power to work as there is no battery inside it. Connect to your home theater or to your Bluetooth speaker, headphone to listen. The device has it's own speaker and it's louder than mobile phones. It's an innovation and you should try it. The cost is very less compared to what it does. Go for it!

Its a new technology device. Good for acquaintance.Got it for 2250/- in offers.

Alexa can play music on demand, quiz, time, news and more features are added everyday.Music library will enhance if u have Amazon prime account otherwise library is limited.Though even having prime Alexa can't find certain songs in library

It's good to start with echo dot to know whether u like it or not.

Bluetooth support with Alexa is excellent and Bluetooth connect/disconnect are via voice commandVolume level are also through voice cmd which is greatly helpful

Using it just for the music all other skills are just fency.If you want a music player which can be voic6 controlled go for itAlthough you need to pay for that music service eventually.And I'm pretty much sure Amazon is going to push prime music through your throat

Bought echo for after seeing it work so well at USA with my son. In India it is not as productive yet. Some data bases are same as in USA which obviously do not work here. A lot needs to be done to make it more useful in India. Hopefully, Amazon is working on it.
